How kind of you to dedicate your humorous poem to me! I enjoyed your whimsy and imagination and am now thinking about a new expression: "If apples had wings..." LOL Hugs- Joan

I enjoyed your poem that gives a wink at Newton and flying apples. If he had you at his side, under that fruit tree, it would have saved many years of contemplation. LOL

Your poem is in good syllable count and structure for the tanka
I love the humor in your observations about birds and apples and why some things fly and others fall LOL Brooke :-)

What a cute piece of whimsy, Kamran. Gave me an early morning chuckle and that set the mood for this rainy day.

THANK YOU!

Love how you manage to observe the rules of tanka even when you're kidding around. That's poetic discipline, my friend. Kudos!

Apples don't have wings
nor a voice that sings
But they do have taste
and it would be a waste
To have to chase
A flying apple

Well done, Buck

That was SUCH A fun! Tanka! 31 syllables just like it SHOULD have! Excellent work, Kamran! I really enjoyed it so much... it made me smile, and YES< MoonWillow SHOULD be thanked for the artwork, it's superb! All in all, definitely a winner. Thanks so much for sharing!
The only thing I think might "feel" better on my tongue might be in the second line thinking about "could not" instead of "couldn't"... I had to stretch my palette for that one... could not seems to flow a little easier for me... but that's just me. *wink*... either way, it's a winner!
Thanks for sharing!
Cat

I like this very much. Nice art selection. Great form and perfect count. It's humorous. It says a lot in just a few words. I can just see Newton trying to figure out why birds don't fall. I would recommend to others. Good job.
